What are Hybrid Lubricants:
Hybrids are a blend of water based and silicone lubricant. Usually, roughly 90% water based and 10% silicone, with slight variations to those numbers.
When Should I Choose A Hybrid Lubricant:
If you prefer the slippery sensations that water based lubricants provide, but would prefer a lubricant that does not dry out as fast as pure water based lubricants do, then you can opt for a hybrid lubricant.
When Should I Avoid A Hybrid Lubricant:
Because hybrid lubricants do contain silicone (Roughly 10%) it is best to err on the side of caution and treat them in the same way as you would silicone lubricants. This means avoiding using them with silicone blended, or jelly sex toys, although you can always perform a small patch test to see if your lubricant and sex toy will react. Hybrid lubricants act most similarly to water based lubricants and as such, are almost as useless in the bath or shower, as 90% of the lubricant will dissolve.
